Trauma Affect Regulation Guide for Education and Therapy (TARGET) Learning Collaborative - CTAC Disaster Mental Project

The University of Kentucky Center on Trauma and Children (UK CTAC) will work with the Kentucky Department for Behavioral Health, Developmental and Intellectual Disabilities to strengthen their policies and practices to respond to staff trauma. Specifically, the University of Kentucky Center on Trauma and Children will provide evaluation, technical assistance and consulting services to agencies providing services through the System of Care Five (SOC V) grant in four key areas: Establishing the Collaborative Change Framework and Scope of the Project; Team Preparation and Pre and Post Assessment and Consultation; Three Face to Face Learning Sessions; and Coaching and Consultation During Action Periods. In SFY 21, The UK CTAC will perform the following activities: Complete Secondary Traumatic Stress-Breakthrough Series Collaboration (STS-BSC) for Group #1; implement full STS-BSC for Group #2 in September 2020, and launch STS-BSC for Group #3 in February 2021: Groups will consist of eight teams from the two Department of Community Based Services (DCBS) Service Regions (Cumberland and Two Rivers). The eight teams will be comprised of the following: one team from each of four Community Mental Health Centers (River Valley, LifeSkills, Cumberland River, Adanta), and two teams each from the two DCBS Service Regions (Cumberland and Two Rivers). 1. In collaboration with DBHDID staff, establish the collaborative change framework and scope. 2. Creation of tailored surveys for up to 20 additional sites (up to 10 for Group #2, and up to 10 for Group #3) in SOC V Cohorts One and Two enrolling in the STS-BSC based on individual interviews with each site, and/or consultation with the DBHDID.
